AI/R Everymind, a subsidiary of AI/R, has been named a winner of the Salesforce Partner of the Year Awards 2027 in the new category of Partner FDE Practice. The award recognizes the company’s innovative approach of integrating its engineers directly into client teams to help organizations move Agentforce from pilot to production safely and at scale. With over 2,000 successful Salesforce implementations and a global team of more than 500 Salesforce-certified professionals, AI/R Everymind is a Salesforce Summit Partner and a Top 5 Global Agentforce Partner.
The recognition underscores a growing trend in the industry: the challenge is not just building an AI agent, but deploying it effectively and maintaining it in production. “The hard part was not building an agent. The hard part was getting it into production and keeping it running there,” said Gustavo Rodrigues, SVP of Business Apps at AI/R. “We built this practice around putting our engineers inside our clients’ environments, alongside their teams, because that is what closes the gap between a demo and something a business depends on. The fact that Salesforce created this category tells us how much the standard has been raised.”
The award highlights the critical role that partners play in the AI transformation journey. Salesforce’s partner ecosystem is a key catalyst for organizations looking to deploy AI rapidly and realize the full potential of the Agentic Enterprise. By combining deep industry knowledge with Salesforce’s trusted AI, data, and CRM platform, partners ensure that companies can scale autonomous agents seamlessly to drive unprecedented business success. AI/R Everymind is cited as a clear example of a partner delivering creative solutions that help clients overcome their biggest obstacles and move from proof of concept to adoption.
“Partners are at the center of everything we do at Salesforce. The pace of innovation has never been faster, and global companies are turning to our ecosystem to turn technology into real, measurable success,” said Andrew Kisslo, Senior Vice President of Global Partner Strategy and Programs at Salesforce. “From deploying Agentforce to reimagining workflows in Slack and activating trusted data with Data 360, partners are at the forefront of redefining how companies operate.”
The 14th annual Partner of the Year Awards celebrate the significant contributions that Salesforce partners have made through AI agent implementations, measurable success stories with Agentforce, and driving customer adoption that fuels real business growth. The award to AI/R Everymind is particularly notable because Salesforce created a new category specifically for this practice, signaling that embedding engineers in customer teams is becoming a best practice for successful AI deployment.
AI/R Everymind’s approach is part of a broader strategy by AI/R, a technology company specializing in Agentic AI Engineering. The company focuses on connecting technical capability with concrete, measurable outcomes, led by its AI Forward Deployed Engineers—specialists with deep technical knowledge and business vision who can turn complexity into sustainable impact. This recognition from Salesforce positions AI/R Everymind as a leader in helping enterprises harness the power of Agentforce and achieve tangible business results.
